The first motorcycle to bear the Ariel name since the 1960s is to be unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on Thursday.

The bike has taken four years to produce at the factory, in Somerset, which currently employs 14 people.

BBC reporter Clinton Rogers has been talking to designer Simon Saunders.

Looks a very nice bike. I hope they do well and keeping it small to start with (150 bikes per year production) might just help them. They also have some modern pedigree with the Ariel Atom known worldwide for quality and performance.
